This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
In this first grade class, the students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We have an ethnically and economically diverse group. Students have a range of abilities and work well together, supporting one another's efforts. There are a few English language learners, a few students with special needs, and several gifted students.
We are a community of writers who write together and individually every day!
Some of us write well above grade level, some are on level and some write below grade level expectations, but we all write every day.
My Project
I am requesting a set of cushions for students to be able to each have their own. We meet every day on the floor. My students need to have a comfortable place to sit as we go over the schedule, the morning phonics lessons and as I read a story aloud to the group. Students at this age do well when they do not always have to share.
With this set of cushions my kids can find their own place to sit and not have to crowd one another.
This will also cut down on fussing when we meet together.
